This color caricature shows Carter H. Harrison, the Chicago Democrat who served as mayor in the late 1890s and early 1900s and again from 1911. The record dates the print to about 1911, but the notes trace the image to a supplement to *The Verdict* from October 1899, a reminder that newspaper caricatures were often reused and reprinted. Harrison was the son of Carter Henry Harrison Sr., a former Chicago mayor killed in 1893, so the family name carried weight in city politics. Color halftones like this gave the press a quick, bold way to comment on public figures.
